Hey folks,

Been a while since I've put my hand to writing pony words, but I couldn't resist the siren call of Bicylette's "A Thousand Words" contest, so here we are! I don't normally post stories this short (they go in my Shorts collection), but the contest says they have to be published, so that's what we're doing.

You know the one.

A sheaf of papers, prefaced with a short letter, all written in a sturdy, simple hand.

Abbot Stillwater,

When we parted ways, you asked me to record my wanderings, my friendships, my hard-won lessons and my failures. As you have already instructed me thoroughly on my failures, I have nothing else to report to that effect. To the other items, I am pleased to offer several instances of success.

Hey folks! I should've done this days ago, apparently, but the awesome Twilight's Book Nook at Everfree Northwest has copies of Completely Safe Stories!

Hey folks,

Alternate title for this blog post: I'm Doing a Thing (and I'm looking for help)

I don't think anyone is surprised that my pony writing has been on a bit of a hiatus for a while, and my presence on this site is mostly to lurk-and-read rather than finish my long-delayed stories. What you might not know, though, is what I've been doing instead of pony writing.

This is not a story about ponies. No ponies here! Go elsewhere for ponies.

But this is a story for a D&D adventure I am writing. And I suppose it's also a story about what it means to have purpose, where we get that purpose form, and what happens when that purpose vanishes. People things, in other words.

The flower turns its face to the sun.

“I think I see it,” Rainbow Dash whispered. She squeezed as low to the rocks as she could and crawled forward over the tumbled-down ruins of the jungle temple. “It’s just up ahead, in the nave.”

So, in the ten years I've been writing pony fan-fiction, I have had a persistent dilemma: I love sci-fi, but the MLP universe is intrinsically a fantasy setting. Many noble stories have bridged that gap, including some of my personal favorites (Kkat's Fallout, Iceman's Friendship is Optimal, and Arad's Stardust, as a small sampling). But except for a few scraps in my short story collections, I've never tried to write a true Science Fiction story myself.

Normally when I write original fiction, it is strictly fiction – that is to say, not 'genre' fiction (i.e. science fiction, fantasy, etc). But I do love me some fantasy, so when the opportunity came to produce an original piece accompanying a favorite old game world of mine, I could barely pass up the chance. So if fantasy is your jam, you may enjoy this.

More pony stories to follow, I promise.
